Chapter 104: Wealth can rival a country(1/2)
Capital.
West Street.
Within a few days, there was a bank on the street, but this bank was not called a bank, but a bank, Hui Feng Bank.
Hui Feng Bank announced that this bank only has dead deposits, with a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years, and the interest is generous, so you can make guaranteed profits without losing money.
They even started a mortgage loan business, but they also needed to repay high interest rates.
As soon as this bank opened, word immediately spread throughout the capital, and people were talking about it in the streets and alleys. When people learned that the manager behind this bank was Hu Fei, they were shocked again.
However, with the popularity of Hong Bin Building and Han Lin Xuan, people have become accustomed to it, and without properly weighing the pros and cons, they have gone to Huifeng Bank to deposit money.
With Hu Xiang around, Hu Fei's money will never be taken away by Hu Fei, and no one will worry.
Within three days, Huifeng Bank's deposits had already piled up like a mountain. In order to treat everyone equally, he even accepted copper coins, as long as they were money. In order to run the bank, he also hired a group of professionals from other banks at a high price to run the bank.
A veteran to help you run it.
As for the shopkeeper of this bank, it was no surprise that it fell on Qiuli.
Chundie doesn't like doing business, and prefers to stay with Hu Fei, so the final burden can only fall on Qiuli.
Huifeng Bank.
On the steps of the main hall in the backyard, Hu Fei was sitting on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand. He watched his men seal the boxes of money and carry them into the warehouse one by one, with a brighter smile on his face.
"Master, why do I suspect that you have recovered all the money of the people in the capital?"
Chundie looked at the boxes being carried into the warehouse one after another, and said with some stupefaction.
"No matter how much we collect, won't it still be other people's money? We can't get it..."
Qiuli, who was standing aside, said with a grimace.
In the past two days, she was almost exhausted from counting the money. Although the counting was done by a special clerk and she was only responsible for recording, she was already exhausted.
One can imagine how much deposits Hui Feng Bank has collected in the past two days.
"you are wrong."
After listening to Qiuli's words, Hu Fei smiled and said meaningfully.
"What? The young master really plans to steal the money? Will he not return it to them?"
Qiuli was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask. Even Chundie and Pei Jie on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you thinking?!"
Hu Fei rolled his eyes in embarrassment and said with a smile.
"Then what do you mean, young master?"
Autumn Oriole asked blankly.
"Since the shortest withdrawal period for this money is one year, it means that within one year, this money can be controlled by me at will. Chickens and eggs, eggs and chickens, money can also make money. I want to use this money to make more money back."
!”
Hu Fei pursed his lips and smiled, and said confidently.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, the three Qiuli looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
Next, Hu Fei really did what he said, invested all the money recovered by the bank, and established factories to produce Changsheng hotpot and Jingshi noodles all over the country, and Hongbinlou branches were also opened in various places.
.
In addition, Hu Fei also studied the method of making beer and built a factory to produce a fruity beer called Beijing Beer. As soon as this beer was released, it received enthusiastic response from all over the country, and sales increased sharply every day.
In addition, Hu Fei also established an express delivery station, which became a new type of escort agency. Everything can be delivered to the designated place by express delivery, and the price is cheaper and safer than the escort agency.
Who dares to steal something delivered by the Prime Minister’s son?
It didn't take long for Hu Fei's business to be found in almost every city and every state and county in the entire Ming Dynasty. Even the branches of Huifeng Bank were opened everywhere.
There are rumors that Hu Fei is now the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty, and his wealth is almost as much as that of the national treasury.
This is good news for Hu Fei, but it may not be good news for some people.
...
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the couch, holding a glass of Beijing beer in his hand and looking solemn.
Wine is good wine, but now he has no intention of tasting it carefully because he has realized a serious problem. Hu Fei may be richer than him now.
Sufficient money may not seem like much, but this money can secretly cultivate an army capable of conquering the world!
if...
Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to think further because the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Pang Yuhai noticed the solemn look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face and couldn't help but ask.
"nothing..."
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, shook his head and said.
Pang Yuhai stopped asking, but his eyes stayed on the cup of Beijing beer that he had only drank a few sips of, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"What is Hu Fei doing recently?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
But Pang Yuhai was lost in thought while looking at the beer and didn't hear Zhu Yuanzhang's words for a while.
"What's wrong with you?! I'm asking you something!"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and saw that Pang Yuhai was stunned and stunned. He couldn't help but frown and asked in a deep voice.
"ah?"
"Your Majesty, what?"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce shouting, Pang Yuhai came back to his senses and asked in panic.
"I'm asking you, what has Hu Fei been doing these days?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Pang Yuhai with dissatisfaction and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, I heard that in addition to going to the Imperial College and the Governor's Mansion, I usually go back and forth between Hongbin Building, Hanlin Pavilion, and Hui Feng Bank."
Pang Yuhai hurriedly answered while shrinking his neck.
"Humph, he is very busy all day long, even busier than me."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly and said slowly.
Pang Yuhai lowered his head, not daring to be distracted.
"Notify the school inspector that the new year is approaching. From today on, pay close attention to the movements of Hu Fei and Hu Xiang. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"The slave obeys the order."
Pang Yuhai agreed and hurriedly and slowly exited the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the cup of Beijing Beer on the table, looked solemn, and sighed secretly.
...
Hu Mansion.
Linglong Court.
at dusk.
While Hu Fei was sitting in the study room, looking up the income and expenditure reports on various industries compiled today, there was a sound of slight footsteps, and Hu Weiyong walked in slowly with a solemn face.
Hearing the noise, Hu Fei raised his head and raised his eyebrows.
He rarely saw Hu Weiyong with such an expression when he came to him. In the past, his face was either full of hospitality or impatient and angry, but today Hu Weiyong seemed a little quiet.
"Master Prime Minister, what's going on? Why are you looking so sad?"
Hu Fei asked with a slight smile while reading the report.
Hearing Hu Fei's voice, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment. He looked up and found that he had arrived at the study room of Linglong Garden.
He was wandering around the mansion in a troubled mood, but he didn't expect to end up at Linglong Garden while strolling around.
"Have you heard all the rumors that have been circulating recently?"
Hu Weiyong hesitated and asked slowly.
"heard."
Hu Fei smiled and replied slowly.
